The conference will focus on the prestige, multilingualism and digitalization issues of languages. The conference is being organized by NGO Fenno-Ugria in cooperation with researchers of both Tallinn University and the Institute of Estonian Language. The main aim of the event is to share best practices for protecting and retaining disappearing languages.<\/p><p>There are also musical performances during the 2019 Finno-Ugrian Days. The main concerts take place on the <strong>19<sup>th<\/sup> of October<\/strong> at Estonian National Museum in Tartu and on the <strong>20<sup>th<\/sup> of October<\/strong> at Vaba Lava in Tallinn.

The Udmurts will be represented by a talented instrumentalist Pavel Aleksandrov from Tatarstan. After a long break, the beloved Erzya woman\u2019s collective Merema will also come to Estonia, and the renowned band Magos will present Hungarian music.<\/p><div class=\"accordion my-10 border-top\" id=\"accordion-block_60856dcd95fd0\">\r\n    \n<div class=\"card border-bottom\">\r\n    <div class=\"card-header p-0\" id=\"accordion-heading-block_60856dce95fd1\">\r\n        <button class=\"btn d-flex align-items-center w-100 text-left collapsed border-0 p-0 item-title\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion-item-block_60856dce95fd1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-block_60856dce95fd1\">\r\n            <span class=\"h3 my-4 ml-2 mr-4 d-inline-block text-body\">Background <\/span>\r\n        <\/button>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div id=\"accordion-item-block_60856dce95fd1\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-heading-block_60856dce95fd1\">\r\n        <div class=\"card-body pt-0 pl-8 pr-4 pb-6 pb-md-10\">\r\n            \n<p>Finno-Ugrian Days, which have been celebrated since 1928, have developed into one of the most important series of events that acquaint the wider public with Finno-Ugric peoples and strengthens the ties between them.<\/p>\n\n<p>According to a decision made by the 4<sup>th<\/sup> Finno-Ugric Cultural Congress in Helsinki in 1931, Finno-Ugrian Days are held annually on the third weekend of October in Estonia, Finland, and Hungary. Over the last few years, Finno-Ugric events have also been organized at this time in Russia\u2019s Finno-Ugric regions.<\/p>\n\n<p>In February 2011, the Riigikogu (Estonian parliament) approved a bill that deemed Finno-Ugrian Day a national day to be marked on the third Saturday of October. The Estonian flag is to be flown on that day.<\/p>\n\n<p>In Estonia, one can attend concerts of Finno-Ugric music, films and literary events as part of the Finno-Ugrian Days organized by NGO Fenno-Ugria.&nbsp; Many musicians, writers, artists, and other guests from Russia\u2019s Finno-Ugric areas, as well as from Finland and Hungary visit these events.<\/p>\n\n<p>The main events of Finno-Ugrian Days are traditionally held in Tallinn and Tartu, but Finno-Ugric performers travel all across Estonia during this week of October, visiting schools and local cultural centers.<\/p>\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"card border-bottom\">\r\n    <div class=\"card-header p-0\" id=\"accordion-heading-block_60856e1995fd2\">\r\n        <button class=\"btn d-flex align-items-center w-100 text-left collapsed border-0 p-0 item-title\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#accordion-item-block_60856e1995fd2\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-block_60856e1995fd2\">\r\n            <span class=\"h3 my-4 ml-2 mr-4 d-inline-block text-body\">Aims <\/span>\r\n        <\/button>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div id=\"accordion-item-block_60856e1995fd2\" class=\"collapse\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-heading-block_60856e1995fd2\">\r\n        <div class=\"card-body pt-0 pl-8 pr-4 pb-6 pb-md-10\">\r\n            \n<p>The aim of Finno-Ugrian Days is cultural and educational cooperation between Estonia, Finland, Hungary and Finno-Ugric peoples living in Russia. As well as to introduce kindred peoples of the wider audience to each other and to strengthen cultural self-awareness.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Finno-Ugric Days of the recent years have concentrated on morally supporting the Finno-Ugric peoples living on Russian territory, so that their languages and cultures do not disappear because of russification or globalization.<\/p>\n\n<p>We have invited all cultural organizations, schools and NGOs to think about how we can all devout one little action in our autumns for the introduction of kindred peoples. There are many opportunities for doing so: organizing concerts, exhibitions or meetings, introducing literature, or carrying out specific school lessons, etc.<\/p>\n\n<p>We hope that Finno-Ugric Days will be a memorable event that enlarges our understanding of other Finno-Ugric peoples and deepens people\u2019s interest towards the topic of cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Finno-Ugrian Days 2019 are dedicated to the United Nations\u2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":26503,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[3287,3288,3219,3242,3282,3294],"event-venue":[3322],"event-category":[],"event-tag":[],"class_list":["post-18545","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-2019-en","tag-concert-en","tag-exhibition-en","tag-fenno-ugria-en","tag-finno-ugric-days-en","tag-literature-en","event-venue-different-places-in-tallinn"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Finno-Ugrian Days 2019 - Fenno-Ugria<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/event\/finno-ugric-days-2019\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Finno-Ugrian Days 2019 - Fenno-Ugria\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Finno-Ugrian Days 2019 are dedicated to the United Nations\u2019 International Year of Indigenous Languages.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/event\/finno-ugric-days-2019\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Fenno-Ugria\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fennougria\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-04-25T13:49:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/torama_40532491183_o-scaled.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1707\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/event\/finno-ugric-days-2019\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/event\/finno-ugric-days-2019\/\",\"name\":\"Finno-Ugrian Days 2019 - Fenno-Ugria\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/event\/finno-ugric-days-2019\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/event\/finno-ugric-days-2019\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/torama_40532491183_o-scaled.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2019-05-06T10:47:55+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-04-25T13:49:32+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/event\/finno-ugric-days-2019\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/event\/finno-ugric-days-2019\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/en\/event\/finno-ugric-days-2019\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/torama_40532491183_o-scaled.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/fennougria.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/torama_40532491183_o-scaled.jpg\",\"width\":2560,\"height\":1707,\"caption\":\"Ansambel Toorama festivali Tallinn Music Week Fenno-Ugria laval (2019).
